In a bowl, combine egg, bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons onion and seasoning. Add meat and mix well. Shape into balls and cook in oil. Cook onion and green pepper in drippings. Drain and add meatballs, tomatoes, tomato sauce, and vegetables. Add 1/2 cup water, 1/4 teaspoon salt and Italian seasoning. Bring to boil and simmer 30 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
